excellent location, quiet and welcoming. Lovely comfy beds. Hot tub was very welcome and a lovely place to take a family. The owners were friendly and available if required and we loved our stay.

Jo and John were kind and friendly hosts, and we enjoyed being visited by Wizard the cat. The house was the perfect base for the week - easy parking, large gardens with hottub, and everything needed inside to make it feel like home ... comfy living room with fireplace, large dining area, fully fitted kitchen, 3 bedrooms with the option to use as twin or superking (ideal for our tall family!) and 3 bathrooms. The area is stunning and there is plenty to see and do, in and around Ashburton and Dartmoor. We would love to return!...

Jo and John were delightful hosts and happy to help sort out any queries we had. We had a lovely time, especially enjoying the hot tub and beautiful garden. Everything about The Shippen was amazing - beautifully decorated and very well equipped, down to the bottles in the fridge and the essential supplies which were much appreciated. Our dog Sully particularly loved the garden - with so much space to run in and much larger than our one at home! The Pizza van in the local campsite 10 yards up the road from The Shippen makes delicious pizzas on Fridays and Saturdays - certainly to be recommended, as was The Red Mullet, the fish and chip shop in Ashburton! Ashburton itself is a lovely village with some interesting shops and an excellent butcher! So many places were in easy reach by car - some lovely Devon villages, Dartmoor and South Devon Beaches. I highly recommend this beautiful home and certainly hope to return. ...

Fantastic cottage, very comfortable in a lovely quiet location, but so easy to get to lots of places within around 30 minutes. Would highly recommend.
